A new wrinkle in my life....my sister and bro in law both have serious
covid, both in hospital with Bill fighting for his life. A lot of loose ends
to collect and I'm the collector. Some of my promised dates to my
great customers will not be met but I'll do my best. Alice and I still kickin'.
Life getting in the way I guess.

Best wishes Charlie! In my thoughts and prayers, Dale.

GaryU. · 04-18-2021, 01:00 PM

Very sorry to hear about your family members, your customers appreciate all you do and will understand a small delay. If possible everybody don't hesitate to get vaccinated, there's too many good people we've lost this last year.

Bored&Stroked · 04-18-2021, 01:06 PM

Hey Charlie . . . I'm praying for you and your family - hopefully they both beat the beast back and get out of the hospital soon.

The medical establishment knows a LOT more about treating COVID today than a year ago! Family comes first - your work to support our hobby is a distant second.

Hang in there - do the best you can to support your family and worry about the other work later.

DavidG · 04-18-2021, 01:15 PM

Charlie,
May they both have a speedy and complete recovery and that it spreads no further in your family.

rufus39 · 04-18-2021, 01:30 PM

Prayers for you and your family..It's such a shame the toll this virus has on all of us.

supereal · 04-18-2021, 02:48 PM

Hope you have been vaccinated, Charlie. Out here in the Midwest, the virus has spread, and is deadly. I'm not sure why anyone would refuse the necessary shots. Even if you survive, the damage is permanent.
Best wishes, Bob

nickthebandit · 04-18-2021, 02:50 PM

Charlie, Linda and I are praying for your sister and her husband's complete recovery. You and Alice keep safe.

Veeder · 04-18-2021, 03:22 PM

So so sorry I hope they all recover quickly

Ian NZ · 04-18-2021, 05:57 PM

You look after yourself and your family first Charlie , We have been so lucky in NZ, where it has been controlled constantly, Vaccinations are coming up shortly. It seems once you have had it you are never the same.

Marcus · 04-18-2021, 08:23 PM

Dearest Charlie and Alice: Prayers for your sister and BIL, and (of course) for you both! This Covid is not for the faint of heart, but our God is stronger and I pray will provide you comfort in your time of need. You KNOW your Fordbarn family is praying for you!

JSeery · 04-18-2021, 08:39 PM

McMimmcs · 04-18-2021, 08:43 PM

and there are still naysayers on here that deny that it is a serious problem.
565,000 Americans have died from this disease. May God bless your relatives.

Hi Charlie, I'm so sorry to hear this development. Fingers crossed things turn for the better soon. You're in our thoughts.

God Bless you all.....a glimmer of hope here.........Alice and I surely did get vaccinated,
closest and quickest for us us was a 300 mile trip....twice.
Sincerely,
Charlie ny

Frank Miller · 04-19-2021, 06:26 AM

You're in my thoughts Charlie. Also you're a class act for letting us know about delays or why you might not respond right away.

jrvariel48 · 04-19-2021, 03:47 PM

Sorry to hear this Charlie. Our prayers are with you and your family.

r_reed · 04-19-2021, 06:14 PM

sorry to hear about your sister and bro in law. family first. so many people think it's a hoax, just the flu. when it hits it can be very dangerous. pushing for you and the family.

Tinker · 04-19-2021, 06:44 PM

Sorry to hear. I thought most 65+ have been vaccinated. I don't know your family memebers age or situation.

I get my second this week. A vaccine isn't going to make you 100% immune forever, but it's a way to introduce your immune system to this new virus to fight it better forever. There will be boosters in the future to help with mutations. Best to shakehands with this virus by getting a shot then just getting it and rolling the dice in my thinking.

My brother is a pharmacist. He says this will be around for a while and the sooner people get acquainted with it the better. Get a shot and let your body do it's thing.

Sorry to go on. Fuel/carbs/flatheads are secondary to your family. I hope your brother-in-law pulls through well. Be well everyone!

5851a · 04-19-2021, 06:56 PM

Nothing is important as family in the time a need, all will understand. Have both been vaccinated here and prayers to you and family. Has not been a good spell for awhile.

totto · 04-19-2021, 08:28 PM

My family is praying for your loved ones and for a safe and speedy recovery. GOD BLESS.

GB SISSON · 04-19-2021, 10:00 PM

Charlie, Like everyone else here, I wish your family members a speedy recovery. My wife and I are very thankful have had our second shot and we are thinking of your family tonight. Our prayers are with them. Thank you for sharing what you all are going through.

1934 · 04-20-2021, 05:22 AM

I hope your sister and brother in law recover quickly. Stay safe, Charlie.

This Covid is running riot over here too

tubman · 04-20-2021, 08:40 AM

Hopefully, everyone will recover and things will be back to normal. Hang in there and do what you have to; we can wait.

Farley's34 · 04-20-2021, 07:21 PM

Charlie, I'm sorry to be reading this post. It's a reminder that the virus is still here and needs to be taken seriously. May they recover quickly. Jeff

Old Redneck · 04-23-2021, 04:28 AM

Sorry to hear, hope all works out. I have been off the forum for a couple of weeks. Barb and I have not got the shots for the Virus.

Terry,OH · 04-23-2021, 06:15 AM

Redneck: I would STRONGLY suggest you and your wife reconsider and get the Covid shots! Keep your grandchildren, children, and friends safe. PLUS it could save your wife and your life.

fortyonerag · 04-25-2021, 06:40 AM

Fingers crossed for you and your kinfolk Charlie. Respect.

mhsprecher · 04-25-2021, 08:39 AM

Hoping for a speedy recovery.

The V8 world has lost more than one member to this scourge, unfortunately, to say nothing of the thousands of others. I got my tax as soon as it was available to me, even though I had to drive 45 minutes to get it. Well worth it.

Yep -Believe me as an MD I have researched the Pfizer vaccine (which is what we have here ) in excruciating detail -Based on all this I believe it is safe and effective - I recommend it to my patients and have vaccinated myself and my family with it -Karl

Fortunateson · 04-29-2021, 12:01 PM

Got mine Pfizer on Tuesday. Couldn't sit for a few minutes! LOL. But seriously the only side effects is a slightly sore arm at the injection site and a nice sleepy sensation. So if anyone out there is dubious about the vaccine don't be and do yourself and others a huge favour and get it!
